RRJ#2

Reference:
Getz,M (2008, Sep). Engineering jobs following the money but can engineers follow the jobs?. California Job Journal Retrieved from: http://spectrum.ieee.org/semiconductors/design/engineering-jobs-follow-the-money


Summary:
The article discussed how much the engineers can get from the engineering jobs. The article mentioned an example, that after years of stagnant oil price, money is flowing into the oil patch. This news is good for the petroleum engineers. And, the article said that each kind or engineering has its own market with different starting salaries. Also mentioned is that if the salary is high, the job will not be very easy.

Reaction:
In the last article I read about the engineering job situation. Moreover, I found that the mechanical engineering is the best job for me. Therefore, in this article I looked about the mechanical engineering (on other side). I looked into the financial situation, and I learned from the article many things. The first thing is the engineering job is following the money. The second thing is that the employment has grown 8 percent per year. Lastly, that the civil, mechanical, and industrial engineering have the most jobs, but median earning are higher for petroleum, computer hardware, and aerospace engineering.
